Games Vikings Play

If you were a Viking, what would you do for fun? Would you decapitate your victims? Would you drink until you passed out? Would you carry heavy shit all over the place for no apparent reason to prove to all others that you are more bad ass than them? Well, if you answered yes to that last question, you’re probably a Viking and probably have competed in the World’s Strongest Man competition.

Every summer I watch this competition and am amazed at half the feats these gents pull off. Pick up a car? Sure, why the hell not. Pull a bus with your bare hands? Piece of cake. Throw a keg over a 20-foot barrier? OK. You get the drift.

The best part about the World’s Strongest Man competition is that pretty much all the contestants are Vikings. Need proof? Here’s the line up:

Stockholm 01 Games Vikings Play

Magnus Samuelsson = resident bad ass. Been said to kill with his eyes and/or massive pecks.

richard skog Games Vikings Play

Richard Skog = one crazy Norwegian. Reportedly dropkicked this sphere into a crowd of orphans after the event was complete.

mag truck Games Vikings Play

Magnús Ver Magnússon = pulls airplanes during the day and feeds on sorority slores at night.

jon pall Games Vikings Play

Jón Páll Sigmarsson = happy man. This is his reaction after impregnating his wife while standing 13 feet away.

You get the point.

I invite you to tune in this summer and watch this spectacle. It’s amazing and will give you an idea of what a true present day Viking can do.

Just thank god that they can’t unionize.

In Your Face.

This game looks pretty sweet. I especially like the bonus rounds where you can shoot animals instead of humans.

Play the demo.

Nutball

TCM came across the game from an episode of Jackass. In the episode, the gang sits round in a circle and throw a racquetball at each other’s nutsack. The person who can withstand the pain the longest, (which was Steveo) wins.

Well, this sounds damn painful and decreases the chances of procreation, so the team here at TCM, we made a few edits…

Nutball: the Game
Ages 18 & up
Recommended after hours of drinking

Nutball is a game played one-on-one or in teams of two. The object of the game is to kick a ball and hit the opposing player in the nuts with it.

We know what you’re thinking…that would hurt more than a getting hit with a racquetball in the nuts…well, no shit, that’s why you’re allowed to use your hands to cover up.

The Nutball: the size, type, and style of ball you use is completely us to you, but TCM promotes using the official nutball – a combination tennis/soccerball.  You can probably find this at some store near your home or try Amazon.  Hell, they might even put a link in the ad’s TCM has rocking on these pages.

The Space: after you have the ball, you need space.  TCM suggests a long hallway or somewhere narrow and confined.  Make sure there are no windows.  Accidents can and probably will happen, especially after many beers:

OK.  So now you’ve got your official nutball and your space.  Now you are ready to play.

Rules:
1. There are no rules. These are more like guidelines.
2. You can kick or throw the nutball as hard as you can. But the harder you kick or throw it, the harder it will come back at you when its your turn.
2. You keep score like a baseball game – the game of Nutball is played by innings with 3 outs for each team.
3. Every strike in the nuts, is a run.
4. Team with the most runs after 9 innings wins.
5. You or your opponent should try to find someway to protect your nuts. TCM suggests the old soccer-style nut clasp. It’s still going to hurt like a bitch when you are hit, but it takes away the pain.
6. You can also wear other protective gear, but the more gear you wear, the more man points your buddies can deduct from your count.

Usually by the 5th inning, someone is ready to quit or ice their balls and the game ends.  That’s why TCM suggests doing this when highly wasted.

Last we hear, Nutball is beginning to take off in parts of India and Sri Lanka.  We don’t know why, but we’re pretty stoked to make that report.

Random Pastime Moment of the Day!

wake Random Pastime Moment of the Day!

As a kid, you accept the games around the house, mainly ones your parents thought would be acceptable time passers. Trouble, Connect Four, or Checkers were probably three of the more common place board games. Mousetrap and Chutes and Ladders also had a place in the house.

Then there were the games you thought were fun but when looked back upon bring up quite a few questions. Don’t Wake Daddy gets the nod in today’s Pastime of the Day. For a few reasons, one being that this game was awesome. Two is that you never really questioned why you didn’t want to wake daddy except that you lose. Was daddy just home from the bar, drunk, and needed his rest? If you woke him was he going to beat mommy? Was he going to make you do your homework? I believe the creator of this infamous game had a dad that did not want to be woken, for if he did wake his dad, he ended up with a black eye, before being shipped off to military school. Oh but, he got his revenge! This game became a multi-million dollar hit! Now, if only they made a sequal with a spring releasing fist to make the loser truly walk away the loser.

Drinking

Games that require drinking

I would like to introduce you all do a drinking game.  We here like to call it Drunk Ball.  Clear your mind of what you think it is, cause its not.

Rules:

  • 2 people per team, 2 teams.
  • Beer pong size table.
  • Each person has an unopened CAN of beer in front of them. <— see the emphasis on can.
  • A coin is flipped to see who goes first.
  • Winning team of the coin flip is on offense, and the losing team….you guessed it, is on the defensive.
  • The offensive team has to throw a ping-pong ball at the opposing teams cans of beer.
  • If they throw and miss, then their partner goes, and if they miss then it goes to the other team.
  • If they throw and hit a can however, then they are to (on first contact with can) open their beer and drink as much as they can until the opposing team retrieves the ball and places it on the table saying, “stop”. Sometimes the team on the defensive can get the ball quickly enough before the person opens their beer.  If that is the case, then the person who threw the ball automatically opens their beer.
  • The offensive team keeps going until they miss a can of beer.
  • The game is over when both players on a team have finished their cans of beer. When you finish you beer, you must turn the can upside down on the table to show that you do not have any beer left.
  • If one person is done on a team, they can still play, but only on the defensive, they are not allowed to throw the ball, only retrieve it.

Those are the basic rules to drunkball. If you like, you can make it full contact…depends on your style. The game can be slow as shit, or done in 2 tries…depends on how manly you can drink your beer.
